STAR Strategy

STAR
is an example of an empirically validated (Maccini & Hughes, 2000; Maccini
& Ruhl, 2000) first-letter mnemonic that can help students recall the

integer numbers.

The steps for STAR include:

Search the word problem;

Translate the problem;

Answer the problem; and

Review the solution

Below is an example of a

We have recently launched a science app that uses augmented reality to enhance classroom teaching. The app has 3D models for kindergarten to grade 12. I thought you might want to check it out and may be review it on your blog, if possible.

It is a paid app(with a few models free) but in case you are interested in trying it out I will be happy to provide you with a free copy.
